Nice looking coal!

10 tons would last me a bit more than 2 years if only used to heat the home. I seem to use about 4.6 tons for home heat plus DHW during the heating season proper, and 1 additional ton for warm weather DHW only. Total = 5.6 tons per year.

Theo,
Did that rice coal come from New Wilmington again this time?
Or did you try a different supplier?
